Since I am partially Irish, I enjoy much of the Irish culture and symbolism. Here is a photo of my version of a "shillelagh". It is made from an Persimmon tree limb and I have decorated it with the Celtic Tree Ogham alphabet. The runes on the handle spell my name. You can almost feel Celtic when you walk around with this cane. And, like a good shillelagh the head is heavy enough to fend off any unfriendly animal or person. St Patrick's day is a good time to reflect on part of my heritage and enjoy the good things that are Irish. Including the music of Celtic Woman.
